And she got in 16th place in the annual TennisForum favorite players poll . That's quite huge for Monica tbh, on the fans side. Halep was 12th. The Luxembourg title and speech must have made an important impact.

The draw was really difficult coming after the battles from Luxembourg. This to me should have been the final, would be surprised if Davis won't win the title now.:

Yeah, just that I was pissed after that set she should have won. I know Davis and I was following the Livescore in Luxembourg SF hoping Kvitova would win . At least that worked out, otherwise Monica might have been 0-2 in WTA finals this year.

Anyway, great year. 2nd (tied) best season end in singles and first of the 3 with a title and best (by far) in Doubles , which is awesome .

Anyway Monica really saved her season at the end with Seoul and Luxembourg Actually even with the injury, still turned out to be a good season, finishing basically with the same ranking as last year in singles, peaking in dubs and bringing home a total of 4 WTA titles

I got quite pissed after that first set which she should have won and turned off the stream .

Well, that's kinda it for 2016 tournaments, unless she'll request and be granted a WC in Limoges.

Lost in straights, but put up a god fight to come back from 0-3* down in the second

Beat Sasnovich 46 64 63 to reach the QF
When Monica lost the first set after having 4-2 40-15, I was thinking maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing to lose in straights and call it a year... but Monica persevered, as she usually does, and her reward will be another difficult match against Lauren Davis.

Was a good workout today
I'm really not looking forward to the match against Sasnovich, last time they played it lasted like 8 1/2 hours and Monica lost after holding a couple of MP's. Hope at least it will be entertaining, after all both are former winners in Poitiers
